Okay, so background: I'm your average pro-gun fuck-the-police, fuck-trump zoomer honed by years of unsupervised internet access and I've just discovered this community and started lurking for a while. But I still hold extremely negative views on China, which I still think are justified.

"Which views?" I'll throw them out real quick: child labor! internet censorship! media censorship! anti-LGBTQ! uygher genocide? positive and pro war relations with russia! (because fuck putin)

So I get really confused anytime I see people expressing pro-China sentiments. Have I been spoonfed by the media or are some of these points actually justified?

    Congrats on coming around faster than I did, it's honestly pretty embarrassing thinking how much of the western propaganda I used to buy into just a few years ago

    Like I knew the media was lying about Cuba and Venezuela and Palestine and even Iran but I believed a lot of the bullshit about China and the DPRK

    The sort of trolls this site attracts aren't smart or subtle enough for an act like this, ranting about being force feminized by the pumpkin spice is more their speed
